A Best Experience

          I don't have a favorite best experience in my life, but one of mine would have to be when I went to Florida to perform with all the music classes from Monarch this past April. I was in the jazz band and was with them when we performed in Disney, but the rest of the trip you could hang out with your room mates for the trip or anyone you knew. One big reason this trip was one of the best experiences in my life was because it was such a blast! To be with all your friends and schoolmates without your family at Disney World was awesome, and I wish I could go on another massive school trip again. But the second reason I think the trip was one of the best experiences in my life was because of what I got from it. It was fun and all, but I had never left my family for more than two days in a row before, especially not across the country and on a trip! Being 'on your own' with only your schoolmates was a big change for me, and a once in a lifetime experience. Not only was it important to me, but it was something I will never forget. These are reasons why this was one of the best experiences in my life. Below is a video of an average day in the parks of Disney World and the picture is the logo for the program that we were a part of for going to Disney.



Favorite Hobbies In Life

          Music is one of my favorite things in my life, from playing to listening. I am very into rock music, and every kind of rock. I'm a drummer and love to play and make music. Throughout my life since I was four years old, music has been a big part of my life, and is the thing that brings happiness and interest to my life, either from listening or playing. I look to music when I want to relax or get pumped. I look to music when I want to challenge myself or feel awesome by playing it on an instrument. I also see music as an art, and as it is an obvious art, you don't usually think of it that way so I like to look at  music in a structured and creative way sometimes. Music is great, and I have a long list of my favorite bands (and favorite drummers). My favorite band is Jimmy Eat World. Here is the music video, "Pain", which is off of my favorite album by them called, Futures.




          Hockey is another one of my favorite things in life. I used to play roller hockey when I was younger for about 3 years, and then I switched to ice hockey when I was about 10 and have played the sport since. Hockey is a great sport, from building your stick or skating skills, to playing with a team, and to the excitement and aggression of the game. For these reasons and more, hockey is my favorite sport by far and the most exciting and interesting in my opinion. There's no other sport where you get the feeling that you do from skating fast! Once you're good at hockey, it's very enjoyable. Playing hockey is great no doubt, but watching hockey is fun too. There are lots of inspirational hockey players, and my favorite player is Joe Sakic. Here is a picture of the best offense man to ever play for the Colorado Avalanche!
